Abstract

Community-based management research is a collaborative effort between management academics and communities in need with the specific goal of achieving social change towards increased justice. Because it should promote and validate joint methods of discovery and community-based sources of knowledge, community-based management research has several unique characteristics which may affect its execution. This paper describes the process of a community-based management research project conducted in low-income communities in a developing country – Bolivia. The paper describes the context, the research methodology, the history preceding the research project, and its various phases. It focuses on the (yet unpublished) process of the community-based research as opposed to its content (which has been published elsewhere). The paper has the objective of sharing lessons learned in hopes that the experience may be helpful to others conducting community-based research in cross-cultural settings.
